Kriya Yoga and Yogananda Teachings

The kriya guru Yogananda once wrote he had done a great blunder by starting Self-Realization Fellowship, SRF. Shall we believe him? — "Don't guess or believe a lot; like to make sure." To examine subterfuges can help one's sobering up and get wiser, which is no bad help along life's road. [Examine]

Some catch the inexperienced by shiny, polished bait. The trapped lobsters hardly understand the bigger picture - and if they do, they are still trapped. [Cf. 2 Peter 2:12-19]

In 1920 the guru Paramahansa Yogananda set up Self-Realization Fellowship, SRF, in the USA. Yogananda taught a much changed kriya yoga and got a large following, mainly in America. As years went by, rather grave inconsistencies loomed, alas. The fellowship spreads guru words and a mean regimen (way of life) for those who become initiate followers.
